Woman Killed By Tractor Trailer In Red Hook, No Criminality Suspected: Gothamist

Jesus, another person killed, right at the border of Carroll Gardens and Red Hook. That stretch of Hamilton is terrifying.

A 60-year-old woman was struck and killed by a tractor trailer in Red
Hook this morning. Police say the victim was crossing Court Street at
Hamilton Avenue around 6:40 a.m. when she was hit by a truck driver
traveling west on Hamilton Avenue. The woman was pronounced dead at
the scene. An NYPD spokesperson said that no criminality is suspected,
and the investigation is ongoing.

The proposed pedestrian and bus improvements (WARNING - PDF) to tie Red Hook better
into the community can't happen soon enough.
